Silver coins.

After the unsuccessful attempt in 1730 -31 to obtain permission from the Nayak of Tanjore to mint silver coins, such a permission was obtained in 1753. So minting of Royalin started again and now in bigger quantities under the next three kings F5, C7 and F6. The Danes were also permitted to mint Pondicherry rupees and in the books of the Asiatic Company such minting by the Danes are mentioned and accounted for from 1755 to 1776. Such rupees minted by the Danes in Trankebar have never been identified. The rupees might exist, but we do not know their type or mintmark. The rupee was meant for use in Bengal. So Bengal must be the right place to look for such a rupee minted by the Danes in Trankebar. In 1755 the Danes got the nawab’s paravana allowing them to trade everywhere in Bengal, Bihar and Orissa against a tax of 2.5 per cent. The Danes were also allowed to establish a settlement at Serampore 90 miles up the Hugli River. From now on the majority of the Danish trade in India lay in Bengal.
